It is with great sorrow and heartbreak that we announce Brennen Fernie passed away unexpectedly on May 11th, 2025 at 32 years young. Brennen was a soft, gentle, kind young man. A hole is left in the hearts of all that knew and loved him. The warmth of his big beautiful brown eyes, and the comfort of his bear hugs will never be forgotten.
Brennen was born in Bremerton, WA on September 16th, 1992 to Bruce Fernie and Diane Hammrich (Dudley). He was their second son. He grew up in Port Orchard, WA. Brennen enjoyed playing baseball and football. He had a great love and loyalty to his friends and enjoyed hanging out them. He also loved to go fishing. He was a 2011 graduate from South Kitsap High School. He worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for a year, and then a series of jobs in the trade fields. Brennen liked carpentry, as he enjoyed working with his hands and creating things.
